Highschool to University: Both Great and Stressful

The Idea

Going from highschool to university has been both great and stressful. It’s nice to have more freedom with what I can do with my life, but I still feel as if I’m trapped in a way. Having to balance the pressure of completing all my university work while making money with casual jobs and just generally wherever I can is very stressful. I almost have no time to do the things that I enjoy and that make me happy. I’m surrounded by people who are put under the exact same pressure, yet I still feel alone in the struggle because at the end of the day it’s up to me alone to get everything done for myself. It sucks that such a shared experience amongst young people today still feels so isolating and lonely, like it’s you against a world that’s throwing everything at you to keep you down. You just have to keep your head up and keep going, so you don’t get left behind.
